Route:

From the car park, head West on Old Lane (away from the centre of Bramhope). At the end of the houses, turn right onto the Public Footpath. Follow this through the fields towards the houses on the main road - the view from these fields towards Armscliffe Crag is great. Cross more or less straight across the A658 and follow the footpath into Caley Deer Park. There are several options once in the deer park - the top, middle or bottom path. We followed the middle path because Little Chap #1 was map-reading and that is the way he chose! Whichever path you follow, make your way to the car parks on East Chevin Road (there are two on this side of the road). At the lower of the two car parks, we headed North and steeply downhill to the lower path. Turn right here to reach East Chevin Road at a gate. We then followed the pavement uphill a short distance before crossing to the carpark on the West side of the road. Follow the path out of this car park (heading West). The path passes below some Gritstone Cliffs and is part of the local Geology Trail. The path is terraced below the cliffs with good views over Otley. As the path enters the woods, turn downhill and continue down a short distance until you can see a long set of steps. Go up these to a track, go straight across it and continue ahead and uphill to Surprise View - there is a choice of small tracks up to the view point. 

From the viewpoint (a great lunch spot), which has awesome views over both Wharfedale and Airedale - and, from the Little Chaps' point of view, a great view of the airport and all its comings and goings - turn East and follow the wall past the car park. At the end of the wall, turn right into a large grassy field and head diagonally over into the trees. Through the trees and over the road and pick up the Bridleway. Head a short distance down here to an unmarked (on the map) footpath - there is actually a Public Footpath arrow on a tree. A small opening on the left between a fence and stone wall takes you onto a woodland path. This well-walked, obvious path follows around the boundary of the Chevin Lodge hotel to an obvious stile in the far corner of the estate to where you entered. Turn right into the fields and follow the path to the road at East Carlton. Turn left on the road, towards the houses of East Carlton (stay on the footpath as many cars go faster along here than they should!). The footpath ends at a sharp corner so cross the road carefully here and go into the dead-end road. Continue down here and cross what feels like someone's lawn to a gate/stile and a footpath. Follow the footpath to the A658 and cross the main road carefully (it can feel exposed on the verge!). On the other side, the footpath sign is missing, although the post still stands and is a useful marker. Across the fields to a stile, over this and then bear left and uphill towards the farmhouses (be careful not to continue straight on along the stream). Go through the farm to Otley Old Road. Cross here and continue on the footpath to another small road. Turn left uphill, then turn right across the fields and follow this path back to the Cricket Club in Bramhope. Turn right on Old Lane and follow the pavement back to the tennis court and car park.
